Hi, How did you paint the grass textures? I have trouble with getting the detail that you have in the grasses. Thank you.

[@bilbohik8467]

Same problem here! And it was the only thing he didn’t go much in detail with :(

[@KarenMcCloskey-t9v]

Loved this! 🎉🎉

[@MrNyuntshwe]

I wonder how long it does take to finish such a masterpiece. Of course, I've no painting background, but I like to watch paintings a lot.

[@LayneJohnsonStudio]

For this size painting it typically takes me about 4 weeks. But it all depends on the subject, size, etc.

Now I just found out your from texas too, cool beans. I just met a painter a while back named William Smith thats from George West, Texas. He paints well also.
And at about 9:55, we all them dagger bushes but i think the proper name is yucca.
Such a blessing. :)

[@LayneJohnsonStudio]

There's so many types of cacti and succulents across this area! And so many "local" names for things. :)

Princeton catalyst series are superb

[@LayneJohnsonStudio]

I think so!

[@vioricagheorghe3698]

🤗 Thank you!

[@LayneJohnsonStudio]

You’re welcome!

[@christinefischerart]

Thank you Layne! Can you share how you use your mahl stick for adding detail? How you balance it on the easel?

[@LayneJohnsonStudio]

Hi Christine! You can see how I balance my mahl stick in this video: ruclips.net/video/ynAL5qb_UJQ/видео.htmlsi=qRohu7cyuL8upntp Fast forward to about 2 1/2 minutes into the video and you'll see my bigger mahl stick that I use with my big easel. It's really about giving your hand and arm something steady to rest against when you're painting those details. Whether you're working big or small. :)

[@christinefischerart]

@@LayneJohnsonStudio Thank you Layne! You are the best! My husband made a mahl stick for me but your idea of having a hook at the end is genius.

[@bilbohik8467]

What brushes did you use for the grass

[@NicholasStemmle]

Hey Layne, I really enjoy your videos. Where do you find your photos that you reference off of?

[@LayneJohnsonStudio]

Thanks! I take lots and lots of photos!

[@basiablazewicz5218]

Thank You Layne!
Did You paint fog in mountains wet on wet, or wet on dry?

[@LayneJohnsonStudio]

I paint in layers, so wet-on-dry (most of the time). 👍

[@sujanithtottempudi2991]

I think you are Princeton brushes fan...not Rosemary..

[@LayneJohnsonStudio]

Yep.
